Abstract
Semiconductor devices and methods of manufacture thereof are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a substrate, the substrate includes a first fin, a second fin, and an isolation region disposed between the first fin and the second fin. The second fin includes a different material than a material of the substrate. The method includes forming an oxide over the first fin, the second fin, and a top surface of the isolation region at a temperature of about 400 degrees C. or less, and post-treating the oxide at a temperature of about 600 degrees C. or less.
